Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Someone has applied for permission to turn what was Rockaboom in St Martin's Sq into a micropub, perfect time to open one really with Crafty's at the coffee gaff, Grillstock, your Gelato shop and 33 Cank Street all creating a nice little buzz round that area. Pretty criminal there's any empty units there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted 6 July 2015 Share Posted 6 July 2015 Found out Sat what was The Fat Budha and the Shakespeare before that is now going to be (I think) Jug and Bottle. No idea what sort of place its going to be. I also heard that the landlord of the Salmon is leaving at the end of the year. I am quite pleased with that because he took a post I made on Facebook the wrong way and stopped me going in for the past two years; I forget what it was exactly something about what a great place it was when he was selling an end of the barrel pint cheap. He thought I was making fun of him and his missus which I would not ever do. If I was swearing or starting a fight I could understand and accept it. He has upset a few customers though and does not like critcism. He even withdrew from the POTM awards because the Salmon did not feature in the top 3 one month. Mardy git. Where I go a lot now you can say almost anything to the landlord. I posted a link to him from a FB page today. It was about a music festival where they transformed urine to beer (well fed the hops and malt) and said it was a pity he had not patented the idea as he would have made a fortune. I got a like from him. Could not say the same thing to him at the Salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 6 July 2015 Share Posted 6 July 2015 I've always found the landlord of the Salmon to be a friendly and amicable bloke whenever I've nipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voll Blau Posted 6 July 2015 Share Posted 6 July 2015 Not usually keen on Italian beer but had a Menabrea on Friday night. Not bad at all. Anyone tried Sharps Cornish pilsner too? Decent summer drop that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Where'd you get your metal camera case from kendoll I've been after one for time. Cant remember now. It may have been at a camera fair or Youngs (now closed) I had a zenith with different lenses. Dont use it now too bulky to carry around without transport. Got the date slightly wrong edited my post.

Rincewind Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Not a bad day at the Der by beer fest. My only mistake was starting with Eussian Stout which was nice but had an ABV of 9% which I did not know until it was 3/4 poured. Not a lot of seating there or it was all taken when I got there. Only stayed for 3/4 pints then made my way back to the station via the Alex Brunswick and the Victoria (after I had just missed a train) I am not drunk just tired.
